sarai, Many of us forget.
"There are only two safe places for a Christian--in the dust and in heaven. And of the two the dust is safer, for Satan fell from heaven," said a wise man.
Pride was the first sin to destroy the calm of eternity. It was pride that cast Lucifer from heaven and it was pride that cost our first parents their place in Paradise. Pride is the first sin to enter a man's heart and the last to leave. No sin is more offensive to God than the sin of pride.
Pride has been referred to as the "complete anti-God state of mind." It militates against God's authority, God's law, and God's rule. This is why the Bible equates rebellion with witchcraft (1 Sam. 15:23). Pride assaults God's throne and asserts its independence in an attempt to dislodge God as the Sovereign of the universe.
God and pride are like oil and water-- they don't mix! Pride is dogmatic in its antagonism to God and God is absolute in His opposition to pride. The Creator never has and never will compromise with pride.
Humility is the foundation of all virtue, but pride is the essence of all sin. The world system operates on the basis of pride for all that is in the world is lust and pride (1 John 2:16). Pride and lust are root sins from which all other sins spring. Pride is the mother of evil.
God detests pride. He even hates a proud look (Prov. 6:16-17). God's loathing of pride is unalterable, for "Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD" (Prov. 16:5).
